Chapter 73: Pay With Your Life!

“Have you gone mad?”

A sharp female voice suddenly broke the silence. Zheng Anqi could no longer keep up the calm and indifferent countenance, and by then, surprise and disbelief were written all over her face.

She glared at Chen Fan as if she was looking at a crazy person.

“Do you know what are you talking about? Who would spend ten billion yuan on a bottle of pills?”

In the year this event happened, which was 2007, there were only 900 people around the globe that had more than one billion yuan. If one considered currency, that equalled six to seven billion Chinese yuan. In other words, there were less than a thousand people in the world who owned more than seven billion Chinese yuan.

How many of those were from China? The answer was sixty.

With ten billion yuan, one would be considered the richest person in the entire China, much less in this inland province.

Although the Zhang Family claimed to own more than a hundred billion yuan a.s.sets, the number was bloated by the subsidiaries that the Zheng Family didn’t really control.

Therefore, the Zheng Family owned at most twenty billion yuan, but that figure had easily secured them a spot on the top ten list of richest families in Hong Kong.

Chen Fan had asked for half of the Zheng Family’s wealth, no wonder Zheng Anqi would be so riled up.

“Of course I know how much it is. I can count” Chen Fan said lightly.

“You can only buy these pills from me, no one else in the world will have them, plus, I have already given you a discount.”

Zheng Anqi was shocked by Chen Fan’s words. She wanted to refute the boy, but words simply evaporated from her mouth.

Master Wu was enthralled by Chen Fan’s a.s.sertiveness.

Ten billion!

No bargaining and no-nonsense.

The richest person in the entire Zhong Zhou Province owned about the same amount of money. Even if he traveled to the wealthiest provinces such as Jiang Nan, the ten billion yuan would earn him a spot on the ten five lists.

To put things into perspective, the future Chinese magnet w.a.n.g Jianling, owner of the Wanda Group, richest person of Chinese descent, had owned a little more than fifteen billion in 2008.

Chen Fan’s price would cost half of the Zheng Family’s wealth. Would the Zheng Family be willing to pay that much in exchange for a few years of the old man’s life?

Zheng Anqi thought about it for a while and then she shook her head.

“I am sorry Mr. Chen. We can’t take the offer.”

“Ten billion yuan is too much. With that price, we might as well have sent my grandfather to the best hospital and hook him up to the most expensive medical equipment.”

“It’s not too much.” Chen Fan said.

“Even the best hospital cannot guarantee two years of your grandfather’s life. Even if they could, your grandfather would be lying in bed, and unable to talk or move. However, if he uses my pills, he could live a normal life.”

Chen Fan paused a second and then said: “I can give you some time to think about it. Take this bottle of pills and try it first.”

He then handed the bottle to Zheng Anqi and gave Zheng Anqi a look.

“But don’t make me wait for too long. I am not very patient.”

Zheng Anqi looked at the bottle of pills in disbelief. After a while, she managed to gather herself as a broad smile broke over her face.

“Very well. I like your sincerity. Ten billion is it.”

“I will go home to gather the funds. I promise it won’t take long.”

Having sealed the deal, Chen Fan waved a hand dismissing his guests.

Before Zheng Anqi left, she collected the cremated remains of her bodyguards.

Master Wu was upset seeing Zheng Anqi was going to take away all the pills.

After Zheng Anqi and her entourage winded out of the valley, Mr. s.h.i.+ asked in confusion.

“Mr. Zheng, are you sure you want to pay ten billion?”
